When BTS was brought up, Park Yoo Sung revealed that they are, in fact, extremely popular in North Korea—so much so that they even have a code name: “These days, you can’t say ‘BTS’ right away, so people use a secret code“.

Have you ever heard of ‘Bulletproof Backpack’? Because if you say ‘Bulletproof Boy Scouts’, you’ll get caught.
